Thanks for the prompt replies folks!! I'm currently working on an article about a particular (alleged) crossroads gravesite and, in doing so, had come across a handful of other, local examples too.... but none - as far as I could see - from the Brum area. Re. the Tyburn, this site has been...

Hi All, Slightly off topic, but has anyone ever heard of any sites of 'crossroads burials' within the Birmingham area at all? I'm sure there will be at least a couple somewhere in the history of the region... and ghost stories frequently cropped up in conjunction with such places.... All the...

Hi Getting Older, Ghostly cats seem a very popular type of ghost, to be honest. I've had loads of people telling me about these sorts of encounters over the years. (We investigated the 'Withit Witch' Shop in Halesowen recently and, during a tea break, the owner told me about her ghost cats...

Hi Lyn, Thanks for your reply. I have now pestered Reg about his experience too and he has filled me in on the matter! Laugh!! I've mentioned to him that these are the sort of experiences I look for therse days with regards to ghostly happenings, as they clearly transcend the more 'normal'...

Hi Astoness - has the data mentioned in your recent post been discussed on the open forum somewhere? (My memory is shot to hell, these days!!) I re-capped on your old post - above - and do recall reading the details a reasonably long time back... What is the connection with Reg in this matter...

Hi John, I've heard this sort of scenario numerous times following the appearance of the orb phenomenon in the mid 90's, but all I can say is that - if orbs were ghostly in nature - spirits never apparently chose this format to appear in prior to the invention of digital cameras. The blatant...

While not occuring in Brum. itself, I've just written up a couple of stories sent into the W.M.G.C. a few years ago regarding incidents that occurred, relatively locally, around the festive period.... They don't have a particularly Christmassy feel to them, unfortunately, but the time of year...

There is indeed Big Gee. I've already made a note of that one matey!!:);) The only thing I can tell you about Brum. Uni. is the tale of the ghostly stretcher bearers that are allegedly seen in the Great Hall. Unfortunately, there are no actual, first-hand witness accounts concerning these...

Howdy Y'all, I'm currently working on an article concerning the Great Barr area and was wondering whether any forum users might have some ghost stories associated with this area and surrounding environs at all?? All the best, Nick

Just as a matter of interest: Alleged 'Battery Drain' at supposedly haunted sites is something that I've heard about so many times over the years - from a plethora of different sources - but have never experienced myself. In fact, I'd long put it down as one of those things that frequently get...

Hi Archie, Lovely story!!!:D:D:D I was only talking about a book that I have long wanted to write - 'Haunted Loos' - to someone the other day!!:D:D (Seriously!!) I've heard a couple of stories about people sitting on the loo and seeing a ghost..... but never the other way round, I don't...

Hi Tali - thanks for that..... I shall certainly try to chase the matter up!! I might not employ the Evening Mail Archive service, as a source, as the last time I spoke with them, they asked for £50 for the first hour of searching and x amount for every hour after that!?!?:D:D I yearn for the...

No problems Wendy!! Regards, Nick

Some footage recently obtained during our investigations at Shrewsbury Library can be heard at the links I've just put in the 'Brummie Ghosts' section Wendy. If you'd like to pop over there and give them a whirl.... The unfortunate thing about these professional ghost hunts is the simple fact...

You probably wouldn't have wanted to have been part of 'that' particular investigation Wendy, as the group concerned are of the type that set up ouija boards in random graveyards to try and 'contact the spirits'!!:D:rolleyes: Hopefully, we will be putting up a small sound recording made in Gt...

I had to laugh at a paranormal related group who were claiming to have carried out an investigation of St Margarets Mental Hospital this Summer!!! I'm a stickler for research when it comes to paranormal matters - but they must have had a time machine in order to have carried out such a...

Hi Tali, New one on me, I must admit!? Can you recall what was seen? Regards, Nick www.westmidlandsghostclub.com https://westmidlandsghostclub.blogspot.com/

Re. poltergeist cases in general, I don't know if anyone has read the following elsewhere, but there are some similarities with the Pell case and one that we were (in passing) involved with a few years ago: The Darlaston Poltergeist(s) Written: October 2002 Introduction In early June, 2002...

Hi Tali, Coxwell Gardens was formerly Coxwell Road..... My old A to Z from the late 60's shows Coxwell Road as being substantially longer then that Coxwell Gardens are now, so there have certainly been alterations to the immediate area over the past few decades. I hate to sound like one of...

Hi Macca and Dennis, Dennis - we had a good, if albeit passing association with Arthur before his untimely death a short while ago..... As you probably know, he ran the Birmnigham Ghost walk and was always kind enough to pass anyone on to us who mentioned personal ghostly experiences during...
